I agree with points from both sides of the arguement, If you are taking to someone older than you or "higher" rank than you in the church or abroad, its not right for you to say God Bless you, the blessing is always given from the older to younger. …

I agree with you guys, but when you say traditions do you mean the rites? Because the rites say that you can say teoi at any time. Tenen is a different story, that is known to be reserved for kiahk and i think most respect that rite but I've never s…

The Corpus Christi monastary is lovely, they are currently working on an actual church building for St. Moses I believe(it could be st. Mary, after all its called St. Mary and St. Moses Abbey). Its extremely peaceful and is right on the lake. And ye…

If you say that verse with full faith and strenght it will work always, how is it that you don't want to be nice sometimes?? Is that the example Christ set for us? To be mean sometimes or to love always? To be quick to forgive or to hold things agai…

This is part of the sunday theotokia and should be said every sunday during the midnight praises. This goes for the melismatic as well, it is not reserved for kiahk.

Its a candle in the left hand and a cross in the right, i'll get back to you on the reason for that. And yes, the person who responds to abouna's confession with the confession of the deacon has to be the one to stand by him the whole time

The fact of the matter is, nothing should be more important than God, EVEN if an emergency occurs, who would you think God would rather you choose, Him, or a family member who can most likely last another few hours or so without your help.

[quote author=godislove260 link=topic=7318.msg96950#msg96950 date=1226360087] When a certain saint was sticking to the teachings of Christ, some people told him: 'The whole world is against you!' He answered:' Well then I am against the world!' […

To add to what mina said, the deacon holds that lefafa in that way because it represents the Seraphim and cherubim who cover their eyes from the Glory of God.

Then never give up, We do not know what God has planned for us. Keep praying, things can always be worse, thank God for everything, concerning everything, and in everything. He will save you, just be patient don't give up. We tend to feel despaired …

[quote author=coptmorous link=topic=7244.msg96719#msg96719 date=1225840522] There is one problem with the atheists of the world. They are ignorant and do not wish to listen to anyone else's opinions [/quote] Thats a generalization and not always th…

[quote author=Coptic Orthodox Musician link=topic=7283.msg96711#msg96711 date=1225839558] yet obama plans to go to Pakistan for bin laden, which is pretty much suicide, but mccain wants to stay in iraq, which i dont want because that could mean that…

Qt well done, you've convinced me, i now know where you are coming from and I agree

Wow you feel very strongly about this, i see where you are coming from, while doing what the monk is not practical i think it still holds value to those who don't live in the desert. I agree that if you see something wrong happening you should take …

11th hour should be prayed at 5pm(known as vespers) and the 12th is at pm, you have to remember that during these times when the sun set is when things stopped, no technology no reason to stay up, and they would rise with the sun as well. The agpeya…

Like minagir had said, evil is not the absense of God, evil is the absense of good within humans and the world, not from God.

They are not bound by physical distances anymore, so if someone calls on them from earth its not like there is a lag or like this huge gap that would somehow disable them from hearing us. Yes thats what they do, inceasantly praising and praying to G…
